According to Huawei Central, Xiaomi will launch a hidden camera detection feature in the HyperOS 2.0 update, alongside other digital security features. A recent video released by Xiaomi on YouTube shows this feature being tested on the HyperOS Security app using the MIX FOLD 4.
This feature relies on several intelligent algorithms and WLAN services to detect camera signals in a specific area. As soon as the feature detects any unusual signals emitted by the camera, it will alert the user.
This new feature is quite similar to an online tool called "Ingram". It's unclear whether Xiaomi will release this important feature with HyperOS 2.0 for all devices or limit it to high-end models.
Xiaomi uses WLAN signals to detect hidden cameras in the area.
WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network, which allows devices such as smartphones, computers, and smart devices to connect to each other and the internet wirelessly. Xiaomi's update allows their phones to detect hidden cameras by scanning for WLAN signals that the cameras might emit. Many hidden cameras rely on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to transmit data, so phones can identify devices connected to the same network or scan nearby wireless connections.
This detection method works well for cameras that rely on wireless technology, as the phone can pick up signals from them. However, it may not be effective with all cameras.
For example, cameras that don't use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, such as those that store data on a local memory card or use a wired connection, will not emit a detectable signal over a WLAN. Additionally, some advanced cameras can mask their signals or use frequencies that phones may not easily pick up.
HyperOS 2.0 is predicted to not only improve the performance or UI aspects of the device but also add better security tools and robust privacy control services.
The company is expected to reveal these features along with the Xiaomi 15 series in the coming days.
